No connections. Play it safe. These were the rules Ivey lived her life by. Until she hit Mustang, Colorado, a perfectly imperfect town where the citizens were welcoming, and one of them included the tall, beautiful, macho-man rancher cowboy Grayson Cody.

On the run for a decade, Ivey knew she was supposed to play it safe. But she was tired of being on the run. She wanted normal. She wanted real. She wanted a home. And she wanted Grayson Cody. And Grayson Cody wanted Ivey. No one who looked at them couldn't see they belonged together. There was one man in this world for Ivey and one woman in this world for Grayson Cody. So they fell in love.

But just as quickly as they fell together, they were betrayed and torn apart. Separated for years, Ivey was certain her life would not include her rancher cowboy. Until the town of Mustang reached out to her when Gray was in trouble. Even though she thought he broke her heart, she charged in to help. Then Gray and Ivey discovered they were betrayed, and, not only that, but Gray had an enemy who would stop at nothing to defeat him.

What can I say about this book that hasn’t already been said?
It’s emotional and passionate and incredible. The loyalty leaps off the page.
Playing is Safe is Ivey’s motto so she doesn’t get attached to anything or anyone in case her and her older brother Casey have to take off at a moment’s notice. She is a pool hustler; he is on the lookout for marks.
Only it’s Casey who gets a wild hare to stick around Mustang for a little bit.
Ivey see Gray and the connection the tether starts to pull these two together. Oh Ivey knows she needs to stay far far away from this handsome man but she can’t. He knows she is in town for nothing good but he can’t stay away any longer either.
Saying Ivey hasn’t had the best childhood is putting it mildly. Grey had the ideal childhood with adults who cared and loved him. Granted it wasn’t all peaches either.
Gray’s nickname for Ivey is swoon worthy “Dollface.” She gets all melty when he calls her this.
For me I loved how Gray stood up to her brother, up until then I didn’t think Casey was a bad guy but you kind of get so see who he really is.
Best fist date ever! One Ivey didn’t let anyone walk all over her; she stood up for herself. And the first kiss OMG the first KISS!!
Throughout the story things come to pass and they are separated through circumstance not by choice.
Ivey’s life gets thrown in to term oil but without that she never would have met Lash or Freddy. So even though I was heartbroken with the way the story was going. I love that she wasn’t alone.
“Say you love me, Ivey.”
“I love you, Gray.”
Best lines ever omg these are the best moments for me.
It really never gets easy for these two the heartbreak and the tears but oh you just have to keep on keeping on the story takes you on a wild and crazy ride. Oh the last few chapters and the epilogue omg its EPIC!!!

Also GREAT narration! One of my favorites by far.

What a great book. The narrator Savannah Richards is the best actress yet at Audible. She has so much emotion and distinct voices for each character. She makes Gray sound like the sexiest man on earth. IV lately been eating up books that she narrates. This book has so many heartfelt moments. From one end of the emotion spectrum to the other end. I laughed I cried and I got heated just listening to this couple. It’s the BEST BOOK this year. Please use more of Savannah Richards to read good books. Definitely worth a lot stars!!!!!!!!

I honestly can't get enough! When I first started with Audible, I took a while to get through the books for my book club. When I found Kristen Ashley's stories, I kept having to buy extra credits to get more & more. I would listen every chance I got, so I would eat them up quickly & nothing has changed. Admittedly, I have missed a few book clubs due to being too enthralled with Kristen Ashley's stories, to remember to get through the assigned book. Oh well!

I just LOVE all her stories!
